Events

Match Events

0' The wait is over. Toronto FC get us underway at BMO Field.
5' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
10' Chicago Fire FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
15' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. will be considering his options from the bench.
20' Toronto FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
25' Arnaud Souquet has been relatively quiet despite scoring 4 goals in his last 299 appearances.
30' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Kobe Franklin suffering a number of foals already.
31' The crowd applauds Chris Brady as he leaves the pitch. Spencer Richey steps in for Chicago Fire FC.
34' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Miguel Navarro.
39' Toronto FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Chicago Fire FC backline.
44' Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty, a Canada defender, has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
45' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Mark-Anthony Kaye.
47' Chicago Fire FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Brian Gutierrez is hanging Georgios Koutsias on the field on 47 minute.
52' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
57' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Toronto FC that had 284 games and scored 371 goals.
60' A tactical swap from Toronto FC — Brandon Servania on, Kosi Thompson off on 60 minutes.
64' Kacper Przybylko is ready to make an impact after coming on for Miguel Navarro at the 64 minute mark.
69' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
74' Chicago Fire FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
77' Another substitution for Toronto FC to replace Gaston Gimenez by Hugo Mbongue on 77 minute.
82' named a 4-3-3 earlier, and opted for a 3-4-2-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
87' Chris Brady has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 17 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
Game over. The scoreline of 0-0 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
